About Dakabin

Dakabin is a growing suburban locality in the Moreton Bay Region, approximately 30 kilometres north of Brisbane's CBD within the Moreton Bay Regional Council area. With a population of 5,275 and a notably young median age of 30, the suburb has seen significant residential development in recent years, attracting young families and first-home buyers to Brisbane's northern growth corridor. Median household income of around $1,689 per week broadly reflects a community of working families establishing themselves in an area that offers relatively affordable housing compared to inner Brisbane.

Dakabin is served by a train station on the Caboolture line, providing direct rail access to Brisbane's CBD and making the suburb well-connected for daily commuters. The community is notably diverse, with a significant Pacific Islander and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population alongside Anglo-Australian families, contributing to a rich multicultural character. Ongoing residential expansion, access to local schools, and strong affordability continue to draw families and younger households seeking value in the outer northern suburbs.

Dakabin falls under postcode 4503 and is governed by Moreton Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murrumba electorate.
